eCommerce and Digital Commerce training and capability

We provide practical and interactive digital commerce training customised for the audience in your organisation.

Typically the audiences for our training are either:

Sales teams

Marketing teams

Organisation wide upskilling

We can provide verbal references on request but here is some feedback from a recent workshop we ran in June 2019:

“The trainers were all very effective, communicated clearly, were engaging and had a fantastic level of participation.”

“Excellent content, knowledgeable trainers, great team exercises that developed throughout the course.”

“Excellent contribution all day by the trainers made the course, fun, interactive and engaging.”

Why is it important?

There are many factors that are making growth in several sectors challenging in the UK at present. For example, FMCG / CPG is increasingly reliant on discounters and eCommerce for growth opportunities.

This is of course ignoring the ever increasing adoption of digital channels by consumers. The fact of the matter is that many businesses are struggling to keep up with consumer expectations. You team’s capability is a core enabler in your businesses strategy to exploit digital channels.

The objectives of our programme will be tailored to your organisation and audience. However, for a sales organisation we can equip the team with

A common understanding of what digital commerce is, and it’s language.

An appreciation of how individuals and the organisation can influence consumers, shoppers and customers from a digital perspective

The scenarios really helped us to apply GDPR to our own situation and business.
